Farmers Insurance has enlisted a fleet of unmanned aerial aircraft systems to enhance the claims experience for customers who have suffered significant damage to their roof following major weather events.

After field tests to assess the most effective and customer-centric ways of leveraging drone technology with its existing claims operation, Farmers will now expand the use of UAS technology to assist with residential property damage assessments and deliver an even more enhanced experience for its customers.

Keith Daly, chief claims officer for Farmers Insurance, says: “Farmers investments in technology and innovation are driven by our commitment to deliver a better experience for our customers at every point of engagement.
